Trivia: The film was mostly shot in the South Bronx "as is" - using the urban decay of the time as a backdrop with little need for sets.
Wolfen (1981)
Directed by: Michael Wadleigh
Starring: Albert Finney, Edward James Olmos, Gregory Hines, Diane Venora
Trivia: There are a few major differences between the movie and the book that it is based upon. For instance, the film suggests that the Wolfen may have Native American mythological roots-that they are wolf-like spirits that have taken physical form to hunt people; in the book, they are a separate, intelligent species from humans that preys upon weak, abandoned and likely "unmissed" people. Furthermore, the film suggests that the Wolfen will continue to predate on the forgotten with impunity; per the novel, they have been discovered with their corpses as evidence and open conflict is likely.
Dewey Wilson: They kill to protect family?
Old Indian: In the end, it's all for the hunting ground.
Edddie Holt: It's not wolves, it's Wolfen. For 20,000 years Wilson - ten times your fucking Christian era - the 'skins and wolves, the great hunting nations, lived together, nature in balance. Then the slaughter came.
